Course description and aims

The aim of this course is the same as the one of [MTH. B301 : Geometry I]: it is to familiarize the students with basic notions and properties on differentiable manifolds.
The contents of this course is as follows: differentials of maps, regular values, critical points, inverse function theorem, Sard's theorem, immersions and embeddings, submanifold, partition of unity, vector fileds. Each lecture will be accompanied by a problem solving class. This course is a continuation of [Geometry I] in the first quarter and will be succeeded by [MTH. B331 : Geometry Ⅲ] in the third quater.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to
・understand the definition of defferentials of maps between manifolds.
・know more than 3 examples of submanifolds.
・be able to use ``Partition of unity''.
・understand the definitions of brackets of vector fields and integral curves of vector fields.

Keywords
